[Frumple]

There's some sort of giant creature that can be seen climbing up and down Death Mountain each day.

Well that's not ominous in the least.

... it almost looks like it's keeping time with the cloud rotation.

The meteorite at 1:15 reminds me of Terraria. (Oh, it even reflects off the water which is pretty)

I don't know about you guys, but the way the wind changes direction so dramatically is kinda odd to me. Maybe you'll get a power to control the wind at some point ala Wind Waker.

[Parsely]

I would give anything for another Wind Waker game with more cool sailing mechanics and stuff.

[TheBronzePickle]

I think the advantage Legend of Zelda has over a lot of other, similar games is that it's primarily puzzle-based. In, say, Fallout and Skyrim, there's only so many ways you can shoot or club raiders to death, and there's only so many ways they can make different places look unique. Eventually, you end up hitting places you swear you've seen before, or you actually end up going back to places you have actually been before.

When every place you visit is its own unique puzzle, where even if most of the mechanics are the same there's a new way to beat them, you've suddenly got one big way to make every big thing the player comes up against different, and different is always more exciting than same.

I don't know about that, honestly. Wind Waker is much, much after this game (and probably a different timeline altogether) and the guy who gives it to you might not even exist right now, as cool as that would be.

[Parsely]

It doesn't have to be the actual Wind Waker, but what does Wind Waker taking place after this game have to do with it? Why couldn't the baton fall into Link's hands in this game? The King of Red Lions had to have gotten it from somewhere.

[Tawa]

Sheikah Slate spell, maybe? Could tie into faster movement by combining it with the glider.

[SOLDIER First]

Good point, but I don't think the wind is integral enough to the game to warrant something for it, if it's only really for the the glider.

[Tawa]

Could be used for puzzles; Wind Waker had a few clever overworld ones involving the Deku Leaf and changing the wind direction.

There's also no definite lack of sailing yet, all we've seen is the demo (where you're confined to an isolated plateau) and a few E3 trailers.

or spreading a fire

There's a raft with a sail that you propel using the Korok Leaf, which is technically sailing

Fire spreads on its own.

[Mattk50]

Fire spreads on its own.

Wind spreads it much faster.

[Putnam]

Wind Waker is much, much after this game

What? I see no indication that it's even on the same timeline and definitely no indication that it's in the adult timeline, unless you mean it takes place before OoT, which I also can't see considering the ruined Temple of Time.
